i think lincoln's great service to jefferson is to redeem him. there is a dimension of jefferson's thinking that is captured in lincoln's apotheosis of jefferson in the gettysburg address and elsewhere. this republic needs to be preserved as we said before, for lincoln, the last best hope of mankind. for jefferson, more hopeful, perhaps, the first best hope. prof. gallagher: i gather from some of the things you've said about jefferson, that he really did believe that if things did not work out, that perhaps some unions would fail and others would rise. lincoln didn't believe that, he believed if this one failed the ideas of self-governance and of economic opportunity would simply be gone and the forces of oligarchy would have reasserted themselves. prof. onuf: i think lincoln and jefferson would have agreed on this. jefferson's response to the missouri controversy, if we can't find an equitable compromise, some way that respects the rights of all member states, if we can't be reassured about that, then all hell will break loose. as i said there's
